According to Tāranātha the Ratnakūṭa-Dharma-Paryāya in 1,000 sections, had its origin during the reign of Kaniṣka's son.¹ On the other hand, the various single texts which are mentioned as portions of the Ratnakūṭa in the Chinese and Tibetan works, only occur as independent works in Sanskrit.² The Chinese and the Tibetan books agree in giving the Kāśyapa-Parivarta as section 43 of the Ratnakūṭa. Valuable fragments of the Sanskrit original of this work were found in the neighbourhood of Khotan, and have been published by \*Baron A. von Staël-Holstein\*.³ It appears, moreover, that this Kāśyapa-Parivarta is identical with the original Ratnakūṭa.⁴ The work was entitled Kāśyapa-Parivarta, because Kāśyapa the Great, Buddha's disciple, is the principal speaker. - [Previous: v2.c19.s6.t4.147](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.literature.winternitz-1927.v2.c19.s6.t4.147) - [Next: v2.c19.s6.t4.149](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.literature.winternitz-1927.v2.c19.s6.t4.149) - [Up: v2.c19.s6.t4](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.literature.winternitz-1927.v2.c19.s6.t4) ## Cites (2) - [Ratnakūṭasūtra](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.ratnakuta.ratnakutasutra) — Sanskrit - [Kāśyapaparivarta](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.ratnakuta.kasyapaparivarta) — Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.literature.winternitz-1927.v2.c19.s6.t4.148](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.literature.winternitz-1927.v2.c19.s6.t4.148) · Pramāṇa
